Inverter output stage

VFD IGBT gate-driver and output-stage path

Connects PWM command, isolated driver supply, gate components, short-circuit protection and the output bridge to overcurrent and repeat-module-failure symptoms.

Technician notes

  • Driver damage can survive after the module is replaced.
  • Current sensing may create false trips or fail to protect the module.
  • Motor cable faults must be separated from inverter faults.
